Fluffy & Ugreen
Hey Ugreen, I’ve been sketching a tiny indoor garden that could double as a palette of natural pigments—do you think some plants would be especially good for that?
Yeah, that sounds amazing, especially for a tiny indoor garden. Try mint for a bright green, borage for a subtle lavender, nasturtiums for orange and red, and a few dandelions for yellow. Those plants have pigments that are pretty easy to extract and they grow well in small pots. Keep a little spreadsheet of your yields—data on how many drops you get per plant is super useful for scaling. Just remember to keep the soil slightly acidic; my spreadsheets show that pH 6.5 is best for most of these.
That sounds so beautiful, Ugreen. I’ll try mint, borage, nasturtiums, and dandelions – I love the little colors they give off. I’ll jot the drops down in a tiny notebook, just a little page for each plant, and keep the soil a touch acidic like you suggested. Thanks for the guidance, it feels easier with a plan. 🌿🌼
That’s the spirit! Keep an eye on the soil pH and remember to water them just enough so the leaves don’t wilt—my spreadsheet shows that 60% moisture works best for mint and borage. Good luck, and if you see any microplastic contamination from your garden tools, just let me know, I’ll rant about it over dinner. 🌱😉
Thank you, Ugreen. I’ll keep the moisture right and check the soil often, and I’ll let you know if anything looks off. Your guidance feels comforting, and I’ll try to keep it tidy. 🌱🙂
Glad to hear it, keep the spreadsheet handy and give the plants a little talk every morning. They’ll love the attention, and you’ll have the data to tweak the acidity later. Happy growing! 🌿😊
